Young professionals have a wide variety of member benefits and opportunities available to them through IEEE membership. These member benefits are intended to help young professionals grow professionally, enhance technical knowledge, and become involved in community.

IEEE has members across the world, in near and far regions. Get connected with a local or regional activity for young professionals, develop your professional network close to home, and become a part of the IEEE engineering and scientific community. 

IEEE GOLD member benefits geared towards community involvement include STEP program events, humanitarian initiatives, and local GOLD affinity groups.

Local IEEE GOLD communities

IEEE GOLD has affinity groups around the world. Nearly 50% of IEEE Sections have a GOLD affinity group, which means that IEEE GOLD members have local community representation. Many GOLD Affinity Groups maintain local GOLD websites, Facebook pages, and LinkedIn groups. Look for your region or section’s GOLD groups and get involved to enhance your IEEE member experience.

Humanitarian workshops

IEEE GOLD Affinity Groups have organized a series of humanitarian workshops around the world. These events are designed to raise awareness of how technology can make a positive impact on the world in which we live.  These workshops provide engineers with greater access to such projects by bringing invited speakers who are currently playing leading roles in applying technology to humanitarian causes.
